'''Religion''' takes a very large role in Wurmonline; from creating enchanted items and casting offensive spells, to using rare and unique artifacts sent from the gods. Although it's entirely possible to have an enjoyable experience without religion it can help to take away some of the monotony of day-to-day life for a Wurmian and provide an extra edge during combat.

===Followers===
[[File:Religion_altars.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Player-made church]]{{main|Follower}}Followers are those who have decided to accept a religion into their lives and by doing so they will trade a small number of restrictions in exchange for deity bonuses and the blessing of their god.
There are two ways in which a Wurmian may become a follower of a god; by being [[convert]]ed by a current follower or by starting on a pilgrimage to one of the special altars, the [[Altar of Three]] for white light gods or the [[Bone Altar]] for black light. Becoming a follower will provide small bonuses whilst in the domain of the respective god and will also open the path to future abilities through priesthood. Many Wurmians are followers and enjoy their life without ever considering becoming a priest.

==Domains==
[[File:Wooden altar.png|200px|thumb|right|A wooden altar|link=Wooden altar]]{{main|Altar}}The domain of a god provides bonuses to all their followers, priests and champions. An [[altar]] provides a portal from which a god may funnel their domain into the lands of Wurm and also a place where followers may [[pray]] or [[sacrifice]] in respect to their deity.
Whilst in the domain of your deity any follower, priest or champion will receive a small bonus to some of their skills, such as [[fighting]] skill: these bonuses vary between gods. The strength of the bonus is affected by many variables such as the follower's faith and alignment, the distance from the altar and its quality.
